The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has released a report which reviews its grant-making activity in the area of youth leadership programming during 1990-98. During this time period, LeaderShape, Inc. was pleased to receive two different grants from the Foundation which supported the growth of campus-based LeaderShape sessions at leading engineering schools across the country. The LeaderShape Institute was named as one of the "exemplary programs" which the Foundation funded, as a result of its evaluation of the 31 programs it supported during this time period.

One section of the Executive Summary of the report states:

"LeaderShape, Inc. offers a curriculum-based leadership development program to more than 1,000 students each year. LeaderShape's Institute for Engineers was one of the 31 projects funded by Kellogg Foundation under this initiative, and members of the evaluation team considered its work to be exemplary. As a result, LeaderShape, Inc. was selected as the subject for a short-term outcome and impact evaluation study."

"The results of this longitudinal research revealed that LeaderShape is successfully increasing the ability of college leaders to create organizational visions. It is also increasing their general transformational leadership skills. The participants rated their overall experience with LeaderShape very positively. They perceived their leadership skills and abilities as being improved because of the training they received."

We are pleased to share the results of this evaluation with you. Further, the Kellogg Foundation has a commitment to disseminating the findings of its evaluation in order to share what it has learned and assist others who are committed to leadership development for young adults. The Foundation, therefore, has published the findings in a report called "Leadership in the Making: Impact and Insights from Leadership Development Programs in U.S. Colleges and Universities."
